UChicago chaired professor reportedly churned out 200 papers in a year — and his surname spells No slop backwards

A viral X thread alleges that a chaired full professor at the University of Chicago has published 200 papers in 2026 alone, with at least one submitted to a journal — and possibly many more. The internet can't get over the irony: his surname spelled backwards reads No slop, making it the most egregious alleged case of academic AI-slop yet. Commenters also noted the papers don't cite each other, a 'rookie mistake' that hints at batch-generated, incoherent output. The story is still unfolding.
